Yesterday an interesting study was released which demonstrated protective effects of time restricted eating in mice. Both normal mice and mutants with malfunctioning liver circadian clock were positively affected from limiting food intake to 9-10 hours, but the mutant mice reverted from certain dysfunction to healthy.
"According to the researchers, the new work suggests that the primary role of circadian clocks may be to tell the animal when to eat and when to stay away from food. This internal timing strikes a balance between sufficient nutrition during the fed state and necessary repair or rejuvenation during fasting."

This study provides yet more evidence for the importance of giving your digestion a regular break. It strongly limits both serotonin and endotoxin load, and maybe most importantly, makes it periodic.
